Six men have been jailed for a total of almost 70 years for a horrific kidnap which saw them torture their victim with hammers.

The 37-year-old victim, from Kidderminster, was dumped naked in a Birmingham street after he was bundled into a vehicle at his Upton Road home on August 3 last year.

His terrifying ordeal saw him driven to a storage container in Coleshill where he was stripped naked and beaten with hammers before being repeatedly stabbed at an unknown location.

The victim suffered two broken ankles, a broken arm and broken cheek bone and was also locked in a boot for hours outside an address on Sycamore Road, Handsworth.

Tariq Mahmood, 41, of Castle Hill Drive, Castle Bromwich, was sentenced to 17 years in prison at Worcester Crown Court today after pleading guilty to conspiracy to kidnap, false imprisonment and causing grievous bodily harm with intent part way through the four week trial.

Paul Murray, 42, of Linwood Court, Birmingham, also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to kidnap and false imprisonment part way through the trial and received 15 years.

Three other men were all found guilty by a jury. Tehery Mahmood, 37, of Mears Drive, Stechford, was found guilty of false imprisonment and causing grievous bodily harm with intent and sentenced to 14 years.

Steven Taylor, 37, of Johnstone Street, Aston, was found guilty of false imprisonment and sentenced to two and a half years behind bars.

Another man was sentenced to 17 years in prison but cannot be named due to legal reasons.
